Merit will win and receive public recognition
and praise. Facts, which are the outcome of
general experience, growing through years of
critical and practical test, become as rooted and
immovsble as the rock OF Gibraltar in public

fact that Swift's Specific is the best blood puri-
fer in the world. is one of these immovable
Gibraltar rock facts of which we have spok, H.

deeper and deeper in public opinion. Every
class of our people in America and in Europe,
every trade, calling and profession, including
the medical profession. have borne voluntary
testimony to the remarkable virtues of s. s. s.
and its infalible efficacy in eurigg all diseases
of the blood These testimonials are on file by
the thousands. and open TO the inspection of
all. Now come, unsolicited, two distinguished
members of the theatrical profession, who oratc-
fully testify TO the wonderful curative qualities
of the Specific in their individual cases. Their
testimonials are herewith submitted to the pub
lie without further comment-let them speak
for themselves. The lady is a member OF the
famous ThalIa Theater Company of New York
and formerly of the Residence Theater, Berlin,
Germany, and OF MeVickers Stock COMPANY
of Chicago. The gentleman is well-kuown
member of the New York Thalia Theater Com
pany. Both are well-known in theatrical cir
cles in this country and in Europe.

Many of their young women were very
good-looking. They are reared for sale;
but upon account of general business de-
preston the chief said prices were low.
Here is my daughter he remarked,
pointing to a bright lass of Is, tawny
brown in color and beautifully formed.

half" A maracotta is Venezuelan for an
American twenty-dollar gold piece
" No" said |, Il do not care 10 buy her.
In my country there are no slaves; besides,
what would | do with her? She can
speak only your language. We could not
talk"
"That is nothing" eagerly; "she will
learn your language in month. Besides,
she can cook your food; and I must sell
her-times are hard"
"No, it would never do" replied. 81
am not going home direct, and don't care
about buying to-day"
Take her at two maracottas-one and a
half! No? Well, then, caballero, YOU
Shall have her for ono. See, she is young,
Strong and can work"
But no inducement was of avail, and the
chief reluctantly gave me up as impracti-

In tho Sheen Fold.

1ndiscriminate physicins of sheep is
ruinous to them. They don't want sui
phur, or pine brush, or hcmlock boughs-
only good clover hay, and Il moderate
feed daily of mixed corn, rye and buck
wheat.
Dry quarters are indispensable to their
health. Look out for carly lambs. Watch
the ewes closely every day, and when the
uddcr is springing and other indications
of lambing are seen put the eve in a
pen by herself. Lambs are sure to be lost
by neglect of this prccaution.
Newly born lambs sometimes starve be-
cause the ewes teats urc closed by tho
glutinous colostrum or new milk, or they
die by the closing of the bowels by the
glutinous discharge. Both of these dam
gers should be averted by watchfulness
and care. When an unmothcrly eve gets
over the first twenty-four hours with her
lamb the trouble is over and she becomes
reconciled and even affectionate. This is
most common with the young eve. and
these should be held until the lamb
sucks q few times and is strong
enough to get its milk from the eve.
The ewes and their lamb should be
kept apart from the rest of the flock.
Ram lambs should be docked and emas-
culated when a week old. They suf-
fer little by the operation at this time.
The tail may be clipped with the shears,
n the whole of the scrotum may be re-
moved by the same method in Il second.

Facts of Interest to Farmers.

w IL 'Si'
If hens lay soft shcllel eggs give them
plenty of gravel and oyster shells or
crushed bones.
Leaves mixed With half their bulk of
fresh barn yard manure and turned over
Il few times previous to using, are en-
ploycd by some gardeners to furnish uni
form heat in the hot bed.
Professor Henry urges farmers to give
more oats to young stock, colts as we'll as
calves. There is no food, says he, that so
corrccts acidity of the stomach and keeps
the whole system in order when fed in
moderation. If you have any doubts
about sitting hens being free from lice,
dust them on the nest with pyrcthrum
powder.
Remember that land plowcd when too
wet becomes cloddy and troublesome.
Do not fail to use disinfcctants freely
in cellars, especially where vegetables are
stored. Copperas water is u good disin-
fcctant. Flower of sulphur, burned on u
shovel in u cellar, destroys fungus
growth.
A great drawback in poultry raising is
the crowding of fifty fowls into Il space
suitable for half that number.
A general practical rule in planting
garden seeds is that they should not be
covered more than four times their diam.
eter in depth.
